Melbourne, Australia June 1, 2025 Medinco Health is pleased to announce the launch of the CLOTBuster® In-Flight Passenger Foot Pump, the only specifically designed and developed medical device for long-haul airline passengers to mitigate the risk of deep vein thrombosis, a medical condition associated with prolonged immobility.

‘I would like to report that the really interesting thing I learned concerning the foot pump was that people wanted it … and they wanted it NOW. We had people who were travelling in the next week, or the next month, and they wanted to take all possible precautions against DVT. The thing that appealed to them was the foot pump would not be expensive and it was not intrusive. It could be tossed into the hand luggage and used as you felt like it. It would not interfere with fellow travellers. Many of them reported that they used to walk around the plane, but these days the staff ask you to sit down as you start to wander around.
I watched the report on the full length tights that the cricketers used. I find it hard to accept quotes like ‘it relieved jet lag’. That sort of statement puts the whole product at risk. Also, if anyone has ever had to purchase compression stockings they will know that they cost a lot of money. Far more than the average traveller will want to fork out.
From everything we learned, we believe that the foot pump should get onto the market as soon as possible. There is a market out there just waiting’.

DVT: A Patient’s Journey
Aamir, a 38-year-old man with an active lifestyle and a demanding job that takes him around the globe, suddenly woke up one morning in intense pain. Despite believing it was just stress, his doctors urged him to undergo further tests. The results revealed that he had a pulmonary embolism caused by deep-vein thrombosis.

A “perfectly healthy” 33-year-old woman is urging others to take caution after a terrifying near-death experience on a long-haul flight, saying, “It’s a miracle I’m still alive.”
Emily, known as ‘alwayssingingmom‘ on TikTok, was on a 13-hour non-stop flight from Toronto, Canada, to Dubai last month.
Just two and a half hours before landing, she collapsed while heading to the toilet—the first time she had stood up in over 10 hours.
